[Kristoffer]

Which one should I get? I'm going to be putting it in the P5WD2-E Prem mboard. I'm going to be mostly be using it for development applications (video,3d,graphic,audio etc) but also for gaming, Which one should I get or do you think I should get something else? My range is about up to $800

Get a dual core , it will do wonders for your work , but not the 8xx series.

Looking at your budget , a 950 Presler ( 3.4 dual core ) is what you are looking for.
